Today, let us practice self compassion, self acceptance ...

“Rather than wandering around in problem-solving mode all day, 

thinking mainly of what you want to fix about yourself or your life, 

you can pause for a few moments throughout the day to marvel at what’s not broken. 

You” 

 Kristin Neff

Let this dress show us our inner strength and power, 

especially if we are feeling lost or exhausted by our personal journeys . . .

"you had the power all along, my dear"

Glinda the Good Witch 

Dorothy: Oh, will you help me? Can you help me?
Glinda, the Good Witch: You don’t need to be helped any longer. You’ve always had the power to go back to Kansas.
Dorothy: I have?
Scarecrow: Then why didn’t you tell her before?
Glinda, the Good Witch: Because she wouldn’t have believed me. She had to learn it for herself.

Pick the day. Enjoy it - to the hilt. 

The day as it comes. 

People as they come... 

The past, I think, has helped me appreciate 

the present - and I don't want 

to spoil any of it 

by fretting about the future.

-Audrey Hepburn

may this dress show you my perspective on housework :)

something's fishy

My theory on housework is, 

if the item doesn't multiply, smell, catch fire, 

or block the refrigerator door, let it be. 

No one else cares. Why should you?

Erma Bombeck

*In her 'home sweet home' series,  Fitzgerald is challenging the ‘picture perfect’ life portrayed by magazines, catalogs and the media. She takes the photograph of one of these Utopian settings and adds some surrealistic details then adds the empty, hanging dress symbolizing the emptiness of the pursuit of this idealistic life.
